Märchenhain Niederheimbach, Fairy tale park in Niederheimbach, Germany.
The park displays life-sized replicas and scenes from classic fairy tales, including character figures and structures set against Rhine Valley landscapes.
Sculptor Ernst Heilmann inaugurated the park on July 2, 1931, after establishing it on a plateau formed by a landslide above Niederheimbach.
The attraction features scenes from Brothers Grimm stories with houses and figures based on local children, connecting German folklore to the community.
Visitors access the park through 132 steps leading to the main area, which includes a restaurant with a bakery overlooking the Rhine River.
The park celebrated 500,000 visitors by 1953 and appeared in the 1952 film 'Einmal am Rhein' directed by Helmut Weiss.
